No. According to the docs:

av_len Returns the highest index in the array.

It's basically the equivalent of Perl's $#{ aref }, hence the unusual condition. I think if I could pursuade it to start at the right place, it would stop correctly too. I just cannot see why it doesn't?

Then, you shouldn't `printf( "Item %d has %d elements\n", i, av_len( av ) );`, if it has in fact `av_len(av)+1` (i.e. 10). :) Anyhow, I think the problem is with reading the string out of `sv2` — at least I don't get any sensible values here at all, like `'A'..'J'` (only random junk out of memory instead). I'll take a closer look ... well, no longer required, syphilis has already done so (—> `av_fetch` is returning an `SV*`, not `SV`)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
